Despite not having a set release date, Square Enix's popular RPG "Kingdom Hearts 3" remains one of the most highly anticipated game in Japan.

According to Japanese publication Famitsu's weekly survey, the next title in the popular "Kingdom Hearts" series is still high on Japanese gamers' list. The game is currently on the seventh spot.

Square Enix missed its original target date for "Kingdom Hearts 2.8." There were speculations that the release of "Kingdom Hearts 2.8" was affected by the recent delay of another anticipated Square Enix game, "Final Fantasy XV," which was moved from its original Sept. 30 date to Nov. 29.

This also led to speculations that the long wait for "Kingdom Hearts 3" will be extended as well, with fans predicting a 2018 or later release date for the highly anticipated title.

Since "Kingdom Hearts 2.8: Final Chapter Prologue" would not be out until January, fans should expect no new details for the much awaited "Kingdom Hearts 3" until around February 2017 onwards.

Meanwhile, with its release date fast approaching, "Final Fantasy XV" nabs the top spot on the most wanted list with 1,060 votes. Nintendo's next "Pokémon" title, "Pokémon Sun and Moon," comes in second, while both the PlayStation 4 and the Nintendo 3DS versions of "Dragon Quest XI" comes in at number four and five, respectively.

The list's previous topnotcher, Atlus' "Persona 5" was released last month with much fanfare, shipping more than half a million copies from the game's Japan launch date, Gamingbolt reported.
